Quality Account

​​​​Patients
want to know they are receiving the very best quality of care.
Providers of NHS healthcare are required to publish a quality
account each year. These are required by the Health Act
2009.

Quality
Accounts are annual reports to the public from us about the quality
of the healthcare that we provide. They are both retrospective and
forward looking as they look back on the previous year’s data,
explaining our outcomes and achievements, look forward to defining
our priorities for the next year to indicate how we plan to achieve
these, and quantify their outcomes.

Quality
Accounts are mandatory for NHS Trusts.​

Our priorities for 2019/20 are:

Improving survival from out of hospital cardiac
arrest

Improving the care of patients with mental
illness / disorder

Safety within our Emergency Operations
Centre

Care of patients who fall

If you require a copy of the Quality Account in any other
format, please contact comms@secamb.nhs.uk.
